"content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, thirdly, no lawyer was used to transact the business. Despite the advice given by Mr. E.K Korir and the technical committee which went to Japan, no lawyer was used. The Minister did appear before us and said that the reason behind that was that it was going to be too expensive to engage the services of a lawyer. He said that the lowest quotation they got was Kshs45 million. When we went to Japan, we saw evidence and documents which were in the document of quotations of as low as Kshs3.5 million. The Minister and his team misled the Committee by saying that they did engage the services of a lawyer and that the person they engaged offered the same services as a lawyer. Our findings were very clear that, that was not a lawyer. The so called âShishoshishoâ is not a lawyer. We have a document by a Mr. Njeru to the head office and it reads:- âPlease be advised that the fax sent to you from the mission on 12th June, 2009 had a Japanese version which was translated at the embassy by a local staff who works at the embassy and which does not have the title lawyer. They were referring to him as âShishoshisho Lawyer.â It should read âShishoshishi only and not âlawyerâ at the end.â"
